This is just one fault-point of many I could mentione with your
vision. This sounds more like one would hope that the world at 2099
might be like.

Write a schy fy book on this, a suggestion.

By 2099 there will not be a sufficient supply of affordable fossil
fuels or possibly not even enough spendy yellowcake to go around
(without a good fight), and we still will not have received a
renewable KW.hr nor a metric tonne of Mook's H2. A century later
(2200) and having 1e10 humans to feed, house and entertain, as such
we'll not have sufficient terrestrial food nor energy in surplus for
sustaining space explorations of most any kind.

Another good sf book is perhaps the best that smart folks like Mook
will ever accomplish, especially as long as those Old Testament faith-
based types have most of us by our private parts, and otherwise having
snookered and/or dumbfounded so many of us to death.
